ASTM B527 Standard Test Method for Tap Density of Metal Powders and Compounds

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM B527 standard. The ASTM B527 standard specifies a method for determining the tap density (packed density) of metal powders and compounds, i.e., for determining the density of a powder opened to settling contents in a container under certain conditions.

Units—Values ​​in SI units should be considered standard, except for density and mass values ​​used to determine density, for which grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) and grams (g) units have long been industry practice.

This test method covers the evaluation of the physical properties of the tap density of metal powders and related compounds. The measured tap density bears a relationship to the mass of powder that will fill a fixed volume die cavity or other container when the container is tapped, vibrated or otherwise shaken.

The degree of correlation between the results of this test method and the quality of powders in use will vary with each particular application and is not fully established.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.

Our organization, EUROLAB, provides standard test method services for the tap density of metal powders and compounds, within the framework of national and international standards, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies. Provides testing services within the scope of ASTM B527 standard.
